Hey guys, hope all is well..
I've made a complete 'pickle' out of my HTC Trophy (Vodafone NZ - Unbranded)..
I was happily using Ansar's europe Mango rom found from these forums for a couple of weeks only to notice that a few key features were not working, Local Scout would not identify anything in my country and Bing song recognition was not visible =/..
I had been given word that the official NZ rom had finally been released through Zune so I (Foolishly) thought it was as simple as flashing with the Vodafone NZ NoDo rom (Also found here by Ansar) and attempting to update the firmware through Zune as usual.. Boy was I wrong..
After the flash had been done, I noticed through Zune that the actual image of the device shown was not my Trophy.. It said 'HTC Trophy'.. But the image wasn't.. I chose to ignore that and attempt to update the firmware, it happily updated right up to 7403, but the following update from this (I assumed Mango) bounced back with the error 80180048..
I've looked through every possible source of knowledge on the net which led nowhere (Even attempted the unwalshing tool but it advised me my device wasn't walshed).. So I'm pretty much stumped.
If anyone at all can help me, I will have your babies..
=P

EDIT - If it means anything, The moment it goes to install the new firmware to the device that USB message pops up on my computer (Win 7) saying that the performance would be a lot better if I plugged it into a USB 2.0 port (Obviously it is..)
Also, on all the previous updates I get a status bar on the phone of how far through the update it is, when it is updating this last firmware I don't get this status bar, it just sits on the same image of the phone and pc with a crossed out arrow in the middle for about 10 minutes then reboots with the above error message
So as you know 3 days ago a small OTA update came out for Verizon which is pretty much the same one AT&T received last month. On wifi I tried to download the update via OTA on the phone, my phone is not rooted and when I tried to download it it just failed in the middle of downloading and I got the error code 503. The wifi I'm using is very fast and steady and nothing else on the phone is having an issue at the moment. So I tried to download it again and it told me that the software currently installed on the phone(original phone release date software) is the newest up to date software. So I called Samsung and told them the situation along with the new build number "VRU1AOD5"(from the new OTA not installed on my phone yet) and software version number currently installed on the phone(5.0.2) and they told me that I'm up to date 5.0.2 and that to their knowledge they never heard of the update or build number I gave them and there was no update for Verizon. So how I can redownload the OTA? because for 3 days now I'm unable to download the OTA due to the 503 error from the very first time I tried to download the update.
What is mind boggling to me is how Samsung the creator of the device has no idea of this update so they can't even help me out. Then they're basically telling me how the hell am I getting the 503 error when I have the latest build(according to them) and software update which is not the case here and I told them that.
Use the Odin file in the return to stock thread
a year ago i bought the HTC One M8 from a shop in Pakistan, it was working fine no flaws at all, i wanted to update it but it wont update via OTA. then i read about updating stock ROMS i then studied it and applied the procedure, installed new firmware and also stock ROM, then the device stuck on the HANDS ON ACTIVATION, another thing is sprint logo came which did not come since when i bought the phone, then someone suggested me to install a custom ROM
So i then rooted my phone, install TWRP and another Firmware and then a Custom ROM installed successfully and my device turns on and works fine but the problem is now my signals for SIM network are gone. i dont know what happened to them.
Can any one suggest the solution to this problem.
Currently i am running Firmware: 4.25.651.8 and android OS 6.0 sense 7.0, also within 20 minutes my phone restart itself i assume thats the problem with the ROM i installed. Please Help me get out of this situation.
Rooted SGS8+ wont boot up after restart:"only official released binaries are allowed"
Hello People,
I've rooted my SGS8+ almost a year ago. 1 week ago I had to send my phone to the service center because of a dead pixel in my screen.
The service center have replaced the screen and wiped unfortunately all the data.
Ofcourse I want to get rid of all the bloatware again and so I just tried to Root my phone. Everything went fine, I only forgot to place my simcard, which I placed after the root.
And this ofcourse asked me to reboot the phone which I did.
Since then my SGS8+ would not boot anymore and gives the message (above the samsung logo): "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed after reboot", in red text.
So I've looked arround on the internet and can't find really much about this message. Some "solutions" which for me don't work like:
I did download stock firmware from Sammobile, but if I'm trying to flash this firmware it will give me the message: "sw rev check fail device 4 binary 2"
I seriously dont know what to do and I really hope someone could explain me some..
I would like to know why this message even occurs, is it like Samsung trying to stop people from rooting?
And should I leave my phone now for 7 days? And will it boot up after?
I've tried to check other forums but nothing really helped or no real solution for me.
Hope I dont bother you guys.
Kinds regards,
Tom
The same thing has happened for me, though i don't get a fail message in Odin, more or less just that it has failed. Did you ever solve it?
Hello everyone, I bought this phone with Verizon in its original software version, previously it was binary 2 ...
I looked for how to modify it and get the most out of it, but I only found it for the SM-A515F version, I didn't think it would work with my phone, because I couldn't unlock the bootloader ...
so i decided to wait for some modification like: "ROOT, TWRP or Rom"
But time passed and an update arrived that I ignored but 10 days passed and my phone was locked and I was forced to update without any other option.
To my surprise it turned out that my phone was upgraded to binary 3 and I was a little freaked out because I know it can't be downgraded to older binaries,
so i was hoping they would create xda threads soon but nothing, and my surprise was another update came and when it downloaded my phone crashed and the screen specified: "for your safety please update".
and then proceeded to forcibly update ...
And to my surprise, it is now binary 4:
"A515USQU4BTJ1"
November 8 update ...
And now I don't know what future this device will hold for me, I just have to wait ...
I just wanted to share my situation and wait for some brainstorming or answers to this ...
The US versions of this phone will probably never be unlocked. Good luck. Glad you at least had an update.
I bought an unlocked A51 on Amazon ($279) and brought it to Verizon to Activate on their Prepaid service. They told me it couldn't be done. I went to a Verizon Company store (most are mom and pop owned) and was told the same thing. I asked if they would humor me by putting in a working Sim card to show me it doesn't work. To their utter surprise it worked. No issues at all. They immediately added it to my Verizon Account.

There is stuff for F variant but I don't know about U variant. This unlocked bootloader is something that should be now forced. Like I even know 7 year old devices that still dont have an unlocked bootloader.
